About Us
Malama Pu`uloa is the primary program of Hui o Ho`ohonua
Hui o Ho`ohonua (HOH) is a 501 (c)3 non-profit created by members of the `Ewa community. Our primary mission is to end the perpetuation of historical trauma to the land, water, and people in the `Ewa Moku. The development of our mission was motivated by our observations of environmental neglect and pollution in Pearl Harbor (Pu`uloa), as well as the social needs of the people who live in the surrounding moku. We are best described as a community stewardship networking organization. We started the Mālama Pu`uloa movement which includes the complete restoration of the sacred Pu`uloa (Pearl Harbor) starting with the streams, wetlands, shores, and historic fishponds at Kapapapuhi Point Park.
Since 2016, we have been engaging community members and school groups to participate in service learning work days at Pouhala Marsh and at Kapapapuhi Point Park. Through our Mālama Pu`uloa program, we have engaged nearly 4500 volunteers. We are empowering and connecting groups of all ages in our community to create positive change cultivating a strong sense of stewardship, pride and kuleana in our community.
